Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist the reader in understanding our consolidated financial statements. Such financial statements and related notes are the representations of management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. In the opinion of management, these accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pro-Dex Sunfish Lake, LLC and Pro-Dex Riverside, LLC, both Delaware limited liability companies formed by the Company in fiscal 2015. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Revenue Recognition Revenue on product sales is recognized upon shipment to the customer when risk of loss and title transfer to the customer and all other conditions required by GAAP, as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 605 “Revenue Recognition”, have been satisfied. Revenue from billable product development service portions of development and supply contracts is generally recognized either upon milestone completion or completion of the product development services, in conformity with ASC Section 605. We recognize revenue that is contingent upon the achievement of a substantive milestone in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. A milestone is considered substantive when the consideration payable to us for such milestone (i) is consistent with our performance necessary to achieve the milestone, (ii) relates solely to our past performance and (iii) is reasonable relative to all of the other deliverables and payments within the arrangement. In making this assessment, we consider all facts and circumstances relevant to the arrangement, including factors such as the scientific, regulatory, commercial and other risks that must be overcome to achieve the milestone, the level of effort and investment required to achieve the milestone and whether any portion of the milestone consideration is related to future performance or deliverables. Accordingly, in certain cases, based upon the evaluation of the criteria above, we record revenue upon milestone completion and in other cases revenue from product development milestone billings to our customers is deferred until completion of all development phases or milestones. Returns of our product for credit are minimal; accordingly, we do not establish a reserve for product returns at the time of sale. Estimated Losses on Product Development Services Cost and revenue estimates related to the product development service portions of development and supply contracts are reviewed and updated quarterly. When it is probable that total costs from the development portion of such contracts will exceed product development service revenue, the expected loss is recognized immediately in cost of sales. Contract costs include all direct material, labor and those indirect costs related to contract performance. Due to the complexity of many of the contracts we have undertaken, the cost estimation process requires significant judgment. It is based upon the knowledge and experience of our project managers, engineers, and finance professionals. Factors that are considered in estimating the cost of work to be completed and ultimate profitability of the fixed price product development portion of development and supply contracts include, among others, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, availability and productivity of labor, the effect of change orders, the availability of materials, performance of subcontractors, and expected costs for specific regulatory approvals. Warranties Certain of our products are sold with a warranty that provides for repairs or replacement of any defective parts for a period, generally one to two years, after the sale. At the time of the sale, we accrue an estimate of the cost of providing the warranty based on prior experience with such factors as return rates and repair costs, which factors are reviewed quarterly. The warranty accrual is based on historical costs of warranty repairs and expected future identifiable warranty expenses, and is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Warranty expenses are included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Changes in estimates to previously established warranty accruals result from current period updates to assumptions regarding repair costs and warranty return rates, and are included in current period warranty expense. Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2017 and 2016 cash equivalents consisted of investments in money market funds. Accounts Receivable and Deferred Costs Trade receivables are stated at their original invoice amounts, less an allowance for doubtful portions of such accounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on facts and circumstances related to specific accounts and on historical experience related to the age of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously reserved are offset against the allowance when received. Deferred costs reflect costs incurred related to non-recurring engineering services under the terms of the related development and supply contracts. These costs get recorded to cost of sales in the period that the revenue is recognized pursuant to the terms of the underlying contract with our customer. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market value. Cost includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. Reductions to estimated market value are recorded, and charged to cost of sales, when indicated based on a formula that compares on-hand quantities to both historical usage and estimated demand over the ensuing 12 months from the measurement date. On an on-going basis, we evaluate inventory for obsolescence and slow-moving items. This evaluation includes analysis of historical sales and usage, existing demand, as well as specific factors known to management. As of June 30, 2017, there was approximately $50,000 of inventory in-transit. Investments Investments reported on the June 30, 2017 balance sheet consist of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies. The investments were made to realize a reasonable return, although there is no assurance that positive returns will be realized. Investments are marked to market at each measurement date, with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, presented as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Long-lived Assets We review the recoverability of long-lived assets, consisting of plant, equipment and leasehold improvements, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate carrying values may not be recoverable. Plant, equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at historical cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following periods: Equipment Three to ten years Leasehold improvements Shorter of the lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life Business Combinations We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings. There were no business acquisitions during fiscal 2017 and 2016. Goodwill & Intangibles We recorded $353,000 of goodwill and $54,000 of trade name in conjunction with the asset purchase of Fineline Molds during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. Accordingly, subsequent to the measurement period described above under “Business Combinations,” we assess potential impairment of goodwill and trade name annually, or more frequently if there are events or changes in circumstances that may indicate potential impairment. Intangibles consist of legal fees incurred in connection with patent applications, capitalized software development costs, covenant not to compete, trade name, and customer lists including backlog. Certain of the patent costs are being amortized over a period of seven years, the estimated life of the product that is currently utilizing the patented technology. The remaining patent costs will be amortized over the estimated life of the product(s) that will be utilizing the technology, or expensed immediately in the event the patent office denies the issuance of the patent. The capitalized software development costs have been fully amortized as of June 30, 2016. Both the software development costs and corresponding accumulated amortization were offset during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The covenant not to compete and customer list including backlog relate to assets acquired in conjunction with the purchase of Huber Precision and Fineline Molds and will be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The expense associated with the amortization of the covenants not to compete and customer list is recognized in selling expenses. Notes Receivable Notes receivable are stated at unpaid principal balance and are subject to impairment losses. Management considers a note impaired when based upon current information or factors it is probable that the principal and interest payments will not be collected, or converted to equity, according to the terms of the secured convertible promissory note. Income Taxes We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities along with net operating losses and tax credit carryovers. Deferred tax assets at both June 30, 2017 and 2016 consisted primarily of basis differences related to research and development tax credit utilization, intangible assets, accrued expenses and inventories. Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Such determination is based on historical taxable income, with consideration given to estimates of future taxable income and the periods over which deferred tax assets will be recoverable. We record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets to reduce the net carrying value to an amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. When we establish or reduce the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes will increase or decrease, respectively, in the period such determination is made. Shipping and Handling Payments from customers for shipping and handling are included in net sales . Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist principally of cash and trade receivables. We place our cash with major financial institutions. At June 30, 2017 and 2016, and throughout the fiscal years then ended, we had deposits in excess of federally insured limits. Credit sales are made to original equipment manufacturers and resellers throughout the world, and sales to such customers account for a substantial portion of our trade receivables. While such receivables are not collateralized, we evaluate their collectability based on several factors including customers’ payment histories. Compensation Plans We recognize compensation expense for all share-based awards made to employees and directors. The fair value of share-based awards is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period using the straight-line single option method. The determination of fair value using the Black-Scholes model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends, projected employee stock option exercise behaviors and forfeitures. We estimate stock price volatility based on two factors: (a) the measurement date (typically the grant date) and (b) the expected life of the option, which we calculate using the Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 simplified method. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our operations are affected by numerous factors including market acceptance of our products, changes in technologies, and new laws, government regulations and policies. We cannot predict what impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other events might have on our operations. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued warranty expense, inventory valuation, the carrying value of long-lived assets, and the recovery of deferred income tax assets. Basic and Diluted Per Share Information Basic per share amounts are computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented. Diluted per share amounts assume the exercise of all potential common stock equivalents, consisting solely of options to purchase common stock as discussed in Note 14, unless the effect of such exercise is to increase income, or decrease loss, per common share. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is measured based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Cash and cash equivalents: Investments: Notes receivable: Although the methods above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or reflective of future fair values, we believe our valuation methods are appropriate. Advertising Advertising costs are charged to selling expense as incurred and amounted to $3,000 and $4,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Recent Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced revenue related disclosures. Application of the guidance in ASU 2014-09 is expected to require more judgment and estimates within the revenue recognition process compared to existing GAAP. ASU 2014-09 is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company expects to adopt the requirements of ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective adoption method. The Company also expects that disclosures related to revenue recognition including judgments made will increase compared to existing GAAP. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the future adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and does not currently expect significant changes in the timing of revenue recognition compared to existing GAAP. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, (Topic 842) “Leases”. The objective of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be applied utilizing a modified retrospective approach. While we are still in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption on our consolidated financial statements and are currently assessing our leases, we expect the adoption will lead to a material increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This update simplifies the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. This guidance will impact our accounting related to future exercises or forfeiture of stock option awards. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. This update provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon bonds; (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the application of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”). The update provides guidance as to which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award should be accounted for as a modification under Topic 718. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of an award as an equity or liability instrument are the same immediately before and after the modification. The standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted and prospective application is required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-09 on its consolidated financial statements. Reclassifications The short-term portion of deferred rent, in the amount of $79,000 as of June 30, 2016, has been reclassified to accrued liabilities to conform to the current period presentation. As described in more detail in Note 3 below, the assets sold relating to the Company’s Oregon Micro Systems (“OMS”) division have been reclassified as assets held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. These reclassifications had no impact on our consolidated net income. |
